@@jeffpiegari4942 They're in color, right? Run them in his old time slot instead of whatever third string game show retread they're running. The religious songs might scare the networks, but if a devoted atheist like me doesn't mind no one should.🇺🇸
I don't know why but a real pang of sadness got me when he introduced Johnny Guarnieri Jr. Here was someone who was just starting his life with a wife and child and blooming career. Then you realise that is now all over for him and sadly he died at only 52 in 1988. Live life fully as it's over like a flash in the pan.
After five seasons, Ernie decided to "pack it in", and end his prime-time series. After a final summer replacement, "GREAT GHOST TALES" (a live anthology produced in New York), "HAZEL" premiered- in black and white- on September 28th.
Ms Shirley Booth real last name was Ford so in time Ford Motor retained their Thursday 9:30 pm est time slot on NBC . Tenn Ernie moved his family to San Francisco and had an ABC daytime show from there in 1962 with a lesser budget .
His ABC daytime show was quite successful (he previously did a similar one for NBC in the mid-1950's, before moving to prime-time in 1956)- until he decided to end it by the end of 1964.
No problem for Ford Motor Co. the Baxter's had Fords in their driveway every episode. One of those Country Squire wagons too. Funny when Hazel would go shopping every parking lot was full of Thunderbirds, Falcons, etc not a Chevy in sight!
@@jamescowley1710 certain episodes of the Ford Show were available on Tennessee Ernie Ford’s website a while back on DVD. However, it seems like that option has disappeared.
